See, I only cared about the digital stuff. Though power, motors, etc. were pretty cool as well. Grades were good in those classes.
Senior project the advisor dinged me for building a system for a plant out of a microcontroller instead of using a PLC like he suggested. But I want to do Microcontrollers. Yep, first job was building industrial control systems with PLC’s. I’m guessing I was a completely cocky bastard as a 21 year old. Perhaps someday I’ll grow out of that. Or not. Heh, calculus. My last all night study session managed to turn a perfectly good B+ in differential equations into a D. Walked in to that exam and drew a complete blank. Should have just slept, probably would have aced it. Mark > On Jun 12, 2020, at 10:46 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > Those were the ONLY classes I cared about.
